WVA coverage for the reporting period Main highlights • Since 26th of November, World Vision Albania (WVA) coordinated support and efforts for assisting the affected populations in the affected areas, with Government of Albania (GoA), International Organizations (I/NGOs) and local and national Non-Government organizations (NGOs). • Rapid Assessment to identify needs in affected areas conducted in less than a week through WV staff and volunteers (students of the Social Sciences Faculty, University of Tirana). Basic Rapid Assessment Tool (BRAT) used in interviews with 511 households comprised of a total of 2,460 members and 7 community leaders. Report shared on December 11th with Inter-ministerial Committee on Emergency (reps. from GoA, INGOs, and NGOs). • Following the rapid assessment, a nine month Emergency Response Plan was compiled, shared for feedback and approved by WVA National Director (ND). • WVA is active contributor in all emergency coordination platforms called by the government or the EU Civic Protection and will continue to do so as needed. • WVA is co-leading the Protection working group with UNICEF, and an active member of the Education, Shelter/NFI, and CASH working groups. Three key messaging points • Collaborating and coordinating efforts for the emergency response should be channelled, and support should be provided for easing the needs. • The rapid assessment confirmed that the key concern of affected population in all sites is shelter, with Kurbin municipality (94%) having the highest reports. • Distress and post-trauma symptoms are more prevalent in the population living in their damaged houses (85.2%) and tents (88.4%) compared to those living in hotels (61.1%). • Second most important problem is that affected population reported high levels of symptoms (among children and adults) such as fear, anxiety, sleep deprivation and loss of appetite. • Children are identified from 51% of families as the most vulnerable group within the affected population, with 1 World Vision Albania, Emergency Response Plan, “Earthquake Response Strategy”.

Humanitarian accountability Although a lot has been done in the coordination amongst involved organizations, agencies and the government to ease the situation, information and accountability toward citizens should be highly considered when approaching affected areas. According to the rapid assessment report recommendations, attention should be paid continuously to affected areas in: - Providing continuous information on earthquake response services through preferred channels such as TV and Local Authorities. - Considering prioritizing timely support to Kurbin municipality alongside with other affected areas. Assessments findings suggest that HHs in Kurbin experience multiple vulnerability factors such as: damaged houses, prevalence of disability and poverty. - Urgent action needs to be taken for winterization items and hygiene kits for affected families. - Urgent action needs to be taken for winterization supplies (heating and blankets) for affected families living in tents. - A more in depth survey should be done for exploring protection issues in hotels and other designated facilities for sheltering affected population. From field observations parents are either reluctant or unaware of child protection threats their children might be exposed to. - Include Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) plans in schools and in community led by local government. - Consider other potential options that surveyed HHs have suggested like:1) cash transfers; 2) provision of NFIs; 3) safe shelter and 4) advocacy to authorities for shelter rights and protection. - Ensure psychosocial support is provided in all sites where affected population are sheltered i.e: tents and damaged houses. - Children should be of primary consideration in every measure taken by all stakeholders in every sector: protection, education, health, shelter, wash, food and NFI’s. - Enforce the bylaw 568/18 date 03 December 2019 of the MoESY on school preparedness plans and make this plan available to the parents. Situation overview (political and security) The inter-ministerial Committee4 so far has declared that in the affected areas 14,069 buildings have been inspected. 261 heavily damaged mansions are declared uninhabitable. 2,237 uninhabited dwellings, 851 mansions of medium and light damage and 4,618 mild medium damage dwellings. 36 schools have been heavily damaged, six schools have been moderately damaged and 176 have some damage. Furthermore, 24 health facilities have been severely damaged. Houses in the remote areas have not been inspected yet and the government is not able to set a date for the inspections. The total economic damage (capital stock) is estimated at $820 million5. - Political and Security situation The Government of Albania (GoA), through the Decision of the Minister’s Council (DMC) No. 750/ 2019, declared the emergency state for at least 30 days in the regions of Tirana and Durres as the areas most affected, on the 27th of November 2019. As a result, an Inter-Ministerial Civil Emergencies Committee (IMCEC) was created, making it the leading and coordinating unit for all the work and interventions planned to happen in both regions. IMCEC is the highest unit coordinating the work of the GoA, private sector and raising financial incomes for responding to the emergency situation. The IMCEC unit is composed by several ministries6, Armed Forces, State Police and Prefectures of Tirana and Durres. Following up the declaring of the emergency state, the compensation of damaged to the property will be defined through another specific DMC. This DCM defines roles and responsibilities of (i) public institutions; (ii) operational structures of civil protection; (iii) private subjects and (iv) citizens. (I) Public institutions are entitled to design interventions both in the organizational and administrative aspects to adapt to the emergency response; using financial resources by allocating and revising budget expenditures; use in the emergency response all human and logistic resources; identify public institutions under their administration for accommodating the evacuated population; procurement procedures in the emergency state should be substituted by written consents; all ministries are requested to have working groups for coordinating aid with the structures of civil protection.

  • Decentralisation and Local Economic Development in Albania Merita Toskaa, Anila Bejko (Gjika)B
    Annual Review of Territorial Governance in the Western Balkans, I, 2019, 53-68 53 Journal of the Western Balkan Network on Territorial Governance Print ISSN 2706-6371 https://doi.org/10.32034/CP-TGWBAR-I01-05 Decentralisation and Local Economic Development in Albania Merita Toskaa, Anila Bejko (Gjika)b Summary Local governance in Albania has been the subject of several reforms over the last few years. The consolidation of local self-government units into 61 municipalities through the administrative and territorial reform was accompanied by the approval of a new law on local self-government, a new strategy for decentralization, and the devolution of some new functions to the local level. The completion of the legislative framework with a law dedicated to local finances was of particular importance for local governments. Nevertheless, while the available financial resources to the 61 municipalities are assessed to have followed an upward trend, their allocation seems to have had different effects on local economic development. Stronger decentralization and fiscal autonomy at the local level leads to better services for citizens, and theoretically translates into favourable conditions for promoting local economic development. This article assesses the relationship between the local government decentralization processes undertaken after 2010 in Albania and local economic development. The results, based on data for the period 2010-2018, are different for municipalities of different sizes, demonstrating the need to complement decentralization reforms with instruments that enhance local capacity and are tailored to local needs. Furthermore, it is concluded that these findings are introductory and not exhaustive, as long as a commonly agreed indicator approximating local economic development is not set.

  • Economic Features of Lezha District
    ISSN 2239-978X Journal of Educational and Social Research Vol. 7 No.1 ISSN 2240-0524 MCSER Publishing, Rome-Italy January 2017 Economic Features of Lezha District Ariola Kaza European University of Tirana Doi:10.5901/jesr.2017.v7n1p203 Abstract The idea of the functional area was extremely important to the territorial reform which was implemented in Albania during the year 2014. Through this reform new and bigger local units were determined and high expectations were set toward a more consistent development and more efficient use of the public sector resources as well as utilization of the private sector energies. This study was conducted in the period of March – September 2015. Data is extracted from existing sources. The main data are retrieved by local government units which constitute Lezha’s functional area as well as Lezha District. Tourism and Agriculture are regarded as the most important sectors from all development strategies of local units. There are other growing sectors in Lezha which are making progress, albeit a bit slowly. They are worthy of attention due to the number of businesses and their employees. The most pronounced industries here are timber, fish processing industry, agriculture and livestock products.
